STOCKTON –Stockton police officers were busy on foot late Sunday night and early this morning.

At 8:52 p.m. Sunday, officers observed what they believed to be a traffic collision near the intersection of Bianchi Road and Pacific Avenue just north of the Calaveras River and attempted to contact the drivers.

Both drivers fled, one on foot, and he was caught after a short foot pursuit. The other driver fled in his vehicle, leading officers on a two-minute, two-mile chase reaching speeds of 80 miles per hour. The vehicle became disabled and that driver attempted to flee on foot. He too was caught by pursuing officers.

Arrested were 19-year-old Alexander Rangel for driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest and 20-year-old Angelo Zamora for failure to yield, driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest.

At 1:45 a.m. today, officers responded to the Manchester Avenue-Monterey Avenue neighborhood just south of University of the Pacific on reports of a suspicious person.

They located a suspect carrying computer equipment. He fled when they attempted to contact him. Officers caught him after a short foot pursuit. A 16-year-old male was arrested for burglary, possession of stolen property and resisting arrest.
